The Other Place’s Meet’n'Greet for our Cork LGBTQ community and Literati

The next Meet N Greet will take place in The Other Place on Wednesday, June 23 from 7.30.

This month’s event is a Team Games Night. There are a few different rounds in store that should be good fun and interactive for everyone involved.

As usual, everyone is welcome, even if you have never been before. This is a great chance to meet others if you are new to Cork or the community, and it should be a really fun night for all involved.

Admission is €2 per person. If anyone has questions you can contact meetngreetcork@gmail.com

***** Literati *****

The Book for this month’s The Other Place Literati book club is Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman,

The blurb:

Fat Charlie is not having a good week, His estranged father recently dropped dead on a karaoke stage and has left Fat Charlie with much more than just embarrassment. Because, you see, Charllie has discovered that his dad wasn’t just any old dad. He was Anansi the trickster spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion, able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of nothing and even baffle the devil. No wonder Fat Charlie’s life is about to be turned upside down

That book club meeting is taking place on Tuesday, 13th of July in The Other Place Cafe.

The Nuts and Bolts of Civil Partnership- from Dublin Pride

 If you are around Dublin next week, then this is definitely a must-go-to!

DUBLIN PRIDE 2010 – The Civil Partnership Bill:

The ‘Nuts and Bolts’ of Civil Partnership and Cohabitation

Tuesday 22nd June
Wood Quay Venue, Dublin City Council Civic Offices
6.30pm – 8.30pm
Chair: Rory O’Neill (aka Ms. Panti)
Dr. Fergus Ryan        Civil Partnerships: How to get one and what will it mean?
Lecturer in Law,         
Dublin Institute of Technology
& Board member of GLEN.
 
Muriel Walls               If we just live together, how will the Bill effect us?
Family Law Solicitor

Pat O’Brien                The Taxation Implications of a Civil Partnership
Director – Human Capital
Ernest & Young.
The Civil Partnership Bill is currently working its way through the Dáil and all indications are that it will be law before the end of 2010. This will allow lesbian and gay couples to become Civil Partners early in 2011. The Bill contains an additional section which will provide limited protections and obligations for cohabiting same-sex couples.
What will CP mean? How will we get one? What rights will we have? What will our obligations to each other be?  If we just live together, have we new rights, and new responsibilities?
This session will give information on the extent of the rights and responsibilities that come with Civil Partnership, and with the cohabitation part of the bill.
All Welcome
Wine & Nibbles
